Great gentleman. Always enjoyed talking to. Respect in many ways. Greatly missed. Will miss seeing him on his tractor messing with cattle. Prayers to family and friends
So sorry to hear. Great guy. Peace and prayers Sue. β³οΈ RIP Larry ππ»
Sue, so very sorry for your loss and prayers for your family.
Larry was a kind, good man. I know because I watched him interact with my young sons when they were learning to play golf. He always had time for them, patience with them, and encouraging words. He was a fine gentleman (words you donβt hear much today.)
Sue, please know we grieve with you. Our love and sympathy.

Great guy! Worked with him for 5 years in the warehouse. Would always run into him at the feed store in daingerfield and we would talk laugh and talk about the old days in the warehouse. Rest Easy Ole buddy. Prayers to the family
With love,

I work with Larry for over 40 yeas and will miss him very much. Pat and myself pray for Sue and all the family and will add Sue to our church prayer list.
I’m so sorry for the passing of your beloved Larry. Momma and Daddy both considered him a good friend. He will be missed.

After high school, Larry and I only got to visit the few times I attended reunions for the HSHS Class of 1960. He remained the same genuinely nice guy that I recall from our school days. He will be greatly missed, I’m sure, by his family, close friends and neighbors. What a great legacy he has left.
